14 Actors Almost Cast In The MCU (And Who They Could Still Play)
3. Josh Hartnett
Who he almost played: Way back in the day, former heartthrob Josh Hartnett was one of the finalists to scheme against Thor as the god of mischief.
Who she could still play: Like Marvel’s schizophrenic answer to Batman, Moon Knight seems almost too perfect for a Netflix series. He fights crime on a street level and works the same New York streets as Daredevil and Luke Cage.
Hartnett seems to be at peace with his career, wanting to keep acting but preferring to stay out of the spotlight. This is exemplified nowhere better than in his tortured performance in Penny Dreadful. Hartnett is the exact type of recognizable talent Marvel is pursuing for their TV roles and Hartnett is clearly comfortable with the medium and tone.
